Tatra is absolutely beautiful and we were so happy the weather held up so that we could get married under the cupola - it is exquisite. Communication was always really good and our wedding coordinator on the day, Emma, was wonderful. The food at Tatra is absolutely delicious and the ballroom is great. Only complaint would be that on a humid day it still felt very hot even in the ballroom - although once we asked for the air con to be turned up this got a bit better. I would absolutely recommend Tatra as a venue and hope I can go there again one day as a guest!

Chloe was absolutely everything we could ask for and more in a wedding celebrant. We didn't have a lot of ideas going in and she ended up making the ceremony the favourite part of our whole wedding! She made sure it reflected us as a couple and many of our guests remarked that it was so true to us and that she had been terrific. She helped us with advice about our vows, sent us examples of readings, met up with us for a rehearsal after just getting off a plane on Boxing Day! She listened to me rant about a rude guest moments before the ceremony!! Her PA system was really high quality and she was quite simply a joy. BOOK HER!

Lovely drivers and beautiful old cars. A bit hot initially but the air con kicked in eventually!

Daniel was an absolute legend. He impressed us big time upon our first meeting - clearly knew what he was doing and helped out figure out some little issues that we hadn't even considered. He was super friendly and helpful and was wonderful on the night, mixing it up with a little bit of everything for different tastes. Highly recommend.

Fiona was recommended to us by our florist, and we couldn't have been happier. She was willing to do whatever we wanted, which included working off a picture of a beautiful cake. She was super friendly and gave us options and suggestions about tiers, etc. She was also able to organise some vegan/gluten free options for a few of our guests with special dietary requirements. There was a great selection of flavours to choose from and we went with dark chocolate raspberry and dark chocolate cherry ripe. I personally never really remember the cake at weddings but I will not forget this one! I had a quick bite at the wedding and it was delicious! Then our venue left some more pieces in our room and I may have had a late night snack plus breakfast. I couldn't get enough! Absolutely sensational quality. Highly recommend.

Peta-Gai and Corinne did a phenomenal job with our make up and hair! All of my bridesmaids said they felt so pretty and I felt the same. As someone who's not usually a big make up person and who can do pretty much nothing decent with my hair, it was great to get all dolled up by the pros! I would highly recommend them and will be booking them again the next time I have a big event!

Carrie and Julie were both lovely and very helpful in putting together our bridal bouquets and flowers. I don't know a lot about flowers and so my input was quite vague and yet somehow they came up with the most perfect bouquets! Absolutely beautiful.

Went into one shop and got my dress. Simple as that! Was told the alterations would be $500 max by a woman they recommended but that I likely wouldn't need many so it wouldn't be that much. Then it was $500 which seemed pretty overpriced for the alterations I got (assumedly she charges everyone that). Otherwise, BOM were great.

Got some great blue heels (managed to get their kitten heel before they stopped making them) that were easy to walk in. They came in a beautiful box with extra heel pads, etc. for comfort. Some time after buying I was asked to do a short phone interview and in return got a $200 voucher which I was then able to use to buy back up flats! I got beautiful sandals which were custom made in the colours of my bridal party.
